i dont think windows firewall would be problem in connecting vnc..
as ittechlab can ping to the machine theree is no probablity of that machine having a firewall.
Look into the VNC Server Settings, make sure it is using the DEFAULT PORTS (5800, 5900+n), whatever port the server settings are using, your client needs to match that....
also, after you determine what ports it is using, use this at the command prompt to check if the VNC service is actually listening on that port
telnet ComputerName port# ex: telnet ComputerName 5900
if you do not get a response from the telnet test, then something like a firewall, may be the issue.

Definately will block VNC. It is intended to block any incomming connection for which it does not have an exception rule. Some services such as setting up file and print services, or remote desktop sharing will automaticly create their own exceptions, but VNC does not. Try disabling for test purposes as suggested by Jay_Jay70

Did you install the VNC server? You need the VNC client on one machine, and the VNC server on the machine you are trying to connect to.
Also try adding a :1 after the ip adress in the client software. So if you are trying to connect to 172.16.225.10 tell it you want to connect to 172.16.225.10:1

I have had connection prblms with different versions of vnc as well. Correct portforwarding, opened up firewall on server-pc (5800/5900), could make loopback connection. It turned out to be firewall on client side; needed port 5500 open.

or the password set in vnc client is correct??
